# About me
I have been selling my original art online since October of 2008. My art took a side line for eleven years, now I am back in it full force. After studying art in my early 20's I went on to sell it at a custom picture framing store and gallery. I was the owner/operator for eleven years but when my family expanded to six children, four of my own and two step children, I decided to concentrate on my own art and spend my time at home. Years of running a successful brick and mortar business with at least one to two children running around the store with me has helped shape my multi tasking talents! I started that business when I was only 24 and made it a success, now I am putting that same ambition into shaping myself as a professional self represented artist. While I do have a few paintings showing in a gallery I find it more viable to try and find my niche online while surrounding myself with my family.Current Residence: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Favourite style of art: Abstract Figurative

I've been absent from dA a fair bit myself. It means I'm getting more done out there in the real world as you seem to be too.

You are absolutely prolific! Seems like every time I log on, you have a new- awesome- painting posted.
Makes me feel like I should be working harder.

Awwww, thank you!! I only painted one the whole summer then got on this painting kick as soon as the weather turned cold. I'm a winter painter and summer gardener, hose holder, bug sprayer and ice cream cone scooper!! (six kids on summer holidays)

Wow, you've got SIX KIDS TOO?
Now I REALLY feel like a slacker.
Looks like I'm going to be a summer resin painter, winter illustrator. It's too dang cold to work in the garage anymore- even in Houston.

Do you have kids?
I'm stuck working on my kitchen table most of the time, when a painting is drying we eat in front of the TV, I'm a bad mommy!!! ha ha
I couldn't paint for almost a week because our wood stove wasn't hooked up (our only source of heat) and my fingers were too stiff from the cold!

No kids- two cats and a dog.
Today, I actually ran away to the coffee shop to get some sketching done. The kitten likes to plop herself directly on top of what I'm working on, and is a paper chewer. She also scales my easel quite often- which is why I don't work in oils! If it isn't dry by the time I walk away, there's no telling what she'll "add" to it with her feet.

I let a painting dry on my table overnight and woke up to paw prints all over it and the table and the floor........
